Delicious Fruit And Cheese Kabobs (Printable)
Refreshing skewers with fresh grapes, strawberries, pineapple and creamy cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple chunks
→ Cheese
05 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
06 - 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
→ Extras
07 - 12 wooden skewers
08 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
# How to Make It:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and halve them if large. Ensure grapes are completely dry before threading.
02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes. Keep chilled until assembly to maintain firm texture.
03 - Thread each skewer with alternating pattern of fruits and cheese cubes. Vary colors and arrangement for visual appeal. Leave slight space between pieces for easy handling.
04 - Arrange finished kabobs on serving platter. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top for garnish, if desired.
05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Best enjoyed immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
# Expert Hacks:
01 -
- These look like you hired a caterer but come together in literally fifteen minutes
- The sweet and salty combo makes people keep coming back for just one more
02 -
- Apple slices brown quickly so toss them in lemon juice before skewering if you want to include them
- Serve these within two hours of assembling because the fruit starts releasing water and gets messy
03 -
- Room temperature cheese has more flavor so take it out of the fridge thirty minutes before cutting
- Use a sharp knife for clean cheese cuts and wipe the blade between different cheeses
